SUZUKI GSF12001998 · 1.2L Petrol

The vehicle’s most recent MOT, conducted on 2025-07-17 at 2,547 miles, recorded a pass with no defects. This suggests the bike has remained roadworthy in its latest inspection. However, the maintenance history reveals a sparse pattern, with no recorded issues over a 12-year span from 2010 to 2013, followed by a 2024 test at 6 miles—raising questions about the accuracy of mileage data or the vehicle’s usage. The lack of defects in recent tests implies stable mechanical condition, but the irregularity in mileage tracking and long intervals between assessments warrant caution. The recorded mileage of 2,547 miles over 28 years equates to an average of 91 miles annually, far below typical usage for a vehicle of this age. A significant gap exists between the 2013 test (11,575 miles) and the 2024 test (6 miles), suggesting either a data entry error or prolonged inactivity. Such low mileage may indicate the bike was stored for extended periods, increasing risks of corrosion, dry rot, and component degradation. The 2024 test’s 6-mile reading is implausible for a 2013-era vehicle, further complicating the assessment of itsTrue usage and maintenance. A physical inspection is critical to verify the absence of hidden issues. Despite no recorded defects, the low mileage and irregular MOT history necessitate checking for rust, fluid leaks, and seized mechanisms. Pay particular attention to the suspension bushes, brake calipers, and exhaust system, as prolonged inactivity can cause binding or corrosion. The lack of recent advisories does not eliminate risks associated with long-term storage, so a thorough mechanical evaluation is advised before purchase.
